~Spring Mantel~

Hi friends! Happy Monday!

In honor of Springing forward this week, I thought I would celebrate Spring by bringing a little green to my mantel. I also found some great thick burlap ribbon in the floral department at Michaels and it was cheap, cheap, so I wound that in with the greens.

I know that everyone is white washing or painting their brick, but I kind of like the earthy look of the darker brick. For the first few years that we lived here, I had planned to re-face this with marble or stone, but I'm glad I didn't. (That's not to say that it won't change eventually, though!)

I use pinecones in my decor all year round. I think I remember reading that Delores at Vignette Design uses her pinecones all year as well. By the way, She has a fabulous blog. Click here to take a look.

Well, that's my Spring mantel so far. I still have to pull out the Easter decor, so it will change a little more in the next week or two.

Beautiful! I have dark brick too but mine goes all the way to the ceiling... I re-did my mantel on Sunday. Maybe I will be brave enough to post a pic? I'm not very confident in my vignette skills but I AM practicing! Drives my family nuts, I change stuff around all day long :)
